Songwriters Hall of Fame


The Songwriters Hall of Fame is an arm of the National Academy of Popular Music. It was founded in 1969 by songwriter Johnny Mercer and music publishers Abe Olman and Howie Richmond. Ultimately it intends to offer a museum but at present it exists only as a virtual museum on the Web [1]. It has an office in New York City, United States. It also holds workshops and showcases, and grants scholarships, to help develop new song writing talent.
